    I used to read SS before it was on qidian's website and i stopped reading so that a lot of chapters would pile up but there is massive decline in translation quality around 800 or 900 mark. Does it go back up at all in the future chapters since so many are behind a paywall or is that low quality still?

    tldr: SS quality went crap, does it get better again.

    It really did lol. I mean most of qidian translation are crap but sometimes you find a good novel and you just have to suffer through It.

    Yes, it does improve. I believe the old translator got fired for resisting the paywall around then. The new translator either took awhile to get settled and adjust his word choice, or there was a 2nd new translator. Either way, the readability noticeably improves.

    Does the quality improve while he is in that ice hell zone or is it longer than that because i really dont want to support that website in anyway other then their side ads because their paywall practice really is disgusting.
